Turbana Plantain Chip Enthusiasts Eat Their Way Through 10 Million Servings
CORAL GABLES, FL, Feb 15, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
After less than two years of production, Turbana announced this
week that its most recent endeavor, plantain chips, has surpassed its
first major milestone -- 10 million servings. Turbana Plantain Chips
hit the market in March 2010 as a natural alternative to traditional
greasy potato chips. With this recent news, it is safe to say Turbana
has successfully introduced a product that rates high in both flavor
and consumer appeal.
Healthier alternatives for popular American snack foods continue to
be in heavy demand. Turbana Plantain Chips are made with freshly
harvested plantains, using only vegetable oil, salt and natural
flavorings. By processing them in a state-of-the-art facility,
Turbana ensures only minimal absorption of oil while leaving flavor
uncompromised.
With 30 percent less fat than the leading potato chip brands,
Turbana's Plantain Chips are free of trans fats, GMO, cholesterol,
gluten, preservatives and additives. The chips also come in six
delicious flavors, including chili, chili-lime, lime, sweet, lightly
salted and garlic -- generating customer approval from even the
pickiest of eaters.
"We are thrilled to have hit our 10 million servings milestone in
such a short period of time. Our product sales have increased
exponentially since we launched Turbana Plantain Chips in 2010," said
Marion Tabard, marketing director of Turbana. "We look forward to
continuing to expand our fan base in the coming years by growing our
distribution across the country as well as launching additional
exotic fruit & vegetable snacks!"
Turbana has also seen an outpour of praise and interest on its social
media sites. Facebook fans and Twitter followers alike have joined in
sharing their Turbana Plantain Chip recipes and photos. Contests and
giveaways on the two popular sites have likewise helped in
maintaining online conversations and sales. For more information on
